Q-Post was ‘less productive’ in 2007

Q-POST was “less productive” during 2007 in comparison with previous years, Q-Post chairman Ali Mohamed al-Ali has said.

In an interview with Qatar Radio on Monday Al-Ali said that “high inflation” had its negative influence also on the postal sector and “it was the reason behind the drop in the corporation’s performance.”

“Our services to the public were much less than our ambitions,” the official said.
He said that issuance of new stamps “was not everything” in the postal field and the main goal when the corporation was established in 2001 was to present the best postal services to the public.

The official said his corporation needs to re-evaluate the services it provides.
He said: “Talented Qatari nationals are leaving Q-Post for other companies because of the poor salaries they earn here, as the corporation attracts less attention than others at the official level”.

“Our only achievement in 2007 was the issuance of a stamp of Qatar’s rulers,” Al-Ali said and added: “But that was too modest one.”
